#MediaMonday – Kevin Bertram
Alison Bailin | Apr 16, 2012
Happy Monday fellow bloggers, Rachel Lilly here. I received the privilege of interning for HMA Summer 2011, and I will be graduating from Northern Arizona University with a degree in Public Relations in just a few weeks! One aspect about NAU that I have come to love is their communication efforts on campus. So I asked Kevin […]

Ballet or basketball? Shopping or Suns? Makeup or Manning? I think it comes as NO surprise I choose the latter of all the options above. I just love sports. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. You know what I also love – other women who love sports, and talking about sports, as much as me. So, it is […]

A Tip for Tuesday – Talk Ain’t Cheap!
Alison Bailin | Mar 6, 2012
Think about Tiger Woods. What images come to mind? Is it that red Nike shirt flapping in the wind as he won yet another golf tournament? All those commercials featuring his mug and high-end brands? Probably not. For me, when I think about Tiger, I think about silence – and then that contrite look on […]

We say it here at HMA all the time – we PR folks wear a lot of hats. Sometimes, we have our writing hats on. Other days, we have our event planning and story pitching hats on. And sometimes, we have our crisis management and business consulting hats on. Heck, most days we wear all […]

Alison Bailin | Feb 13, 2012
As an “Alison” who spells her name with only one “L,” I can appreciate the importance of spelling others’ names correctly. As a “Brien” with an “E,” ABC15’s multimedia journalist Brien McElhatten can too. I first met Brien when he visited a Rocky Mountain Emmy meeting in late 2011, interested in joining our board. He […]

When I first saw News Talk 92.3 FM senior reporter Jim Cross, I thought he looked like a real-life, present-day cowboy. When I first spoke to Jim Cross, I knew I came face-to-face with one of the true local media vets of our great state. But, when I first started writing this, I was not […]

I love native Chicagoans! Not because I am one, mind you. But my family is originally from South Bend, Indiana (yes, home to Notre Dame). Being merely 90 minutes from Chicago and a whole four hours from Indianapolis, Chicago always seemed more like “our big city” even though it was technically in a different state. […]
